Freedom from Want and Need, 2009

In the collage series Freedom from Want and Need I spliced and layered photographs of a wooded landscape with vacuous passages of light made with dusted and sprayed pigment on translucent mylar. Together withDots and Dashes —pillars of logs interspersed with plaster casts of deflated basketballs—these works speak to the tension between presence and absence through the interplay of positive and negative space.
